Graduation

So I don't know how much this relates to social media or what we have been talking about in class but I wanted to write about it anyway. Ever where I go or look people are counting down the days left until summer or graduation. I really do hate count downs and when ever I see or hear them I get a little frustrated. Why do people like count downs anyway? I personally think that the time we have with the people we truly care about isn't long enough so count downs are pointless. We need to cherish the time we have and live each day to the fullest. When I was on Spring Break with my grandma she kept saying she would see me in 2 months for my graduation. Yes I understand that a lot of people are looking forward to graduating or at the very least being done with school and having summer break. That is not the case for me as graduation in a way scares/depresses me. My younger friends talk about losing the people who are graduating as if it is a big deal and very sad but not only do I lose the people who are graduating I also lose my younger friends as well. With technology it is a lot easier to stay in touch but I am not very good at keeping in touch even if I want to just because of the way I am. I tend to push people away when I am losing them (I am trying really hard to not do this now) because I have moved before and know how hard it is the leave the ones you love. So for me graduation is not a good thing it is a sad event where I have to leave all of my friends. What makes it harder is not knowing what I am doing once I graduate. I have been applying for so many jobs yet nothing seems to be working out. I just don't want to end up at home for an extended period of time because well it's not very fun. I have lost touch with mostly all of the people who use to be my "friends" in High School because I went so far away for school, but the reason I went so far away was to get away from most of the people who I went to school with. I guess I just have to try and come back to visit next year where ever I may end up because the friends I have made over the last 4 years have been amazing and I don't know where I would be if I hadn't had the experiences I had with the people I had them with. Alas when I must say goodbye to them I do hope it is not a final goodbye but more of a see you later.
